    In what sense was how he used the term "brothers" derogatory?

    I only mention the statistics, as you can see you are fairly safe in a street full of old ladies regardless of their ethnicity, so no real shock there.

    Yes they do. What was acceptable 50 years ago is unacceptable now. Its called progress.

    Just so you know, the only one now allowed to be racist or sexist is Prince Philip. When he dies that is it. No more.

    Perhaps the only place I have not seen progress is in the CUK mods. Once ScotsPine left I had high hopes. Indeed RealityHack was awesome(where is he now?). Since then its downhill all the way.....

    Conclusion

    In England and Wales 38% of knife possession offenders under 25s were non-white in 2017. It was two thirds in London.

    https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/ent...b0a8dbe16df465
    A Sky news Freedom of Information request to every police force in the country showed London was unique in the racial breakdown of knife crime – black men made up 44% of victims and 48% of suspects.In contrast, white people in London make up 60% of the population, but only account for 35% of murder victims and 24% of murder suspects.
    In February, during the Home Affairs committee which examined progress made in racial equality in the Met since the Stephen Lawrence murder, his mother, Baroness Doreen Lawrence, criticised the ongoing disproportionality.
    She told the room: “If the amount of white kids were being murdered in our streets as the amount of black kids, society would not have sat back and allowed that to happen. But that’s allowed to happen to our kids.”

    Almost half of murder victims - as well as suspects - were black despite the ethnic group accounting for just 13% of London's population.
